In episode 40 of the Golf Beneath the Surface Podcast, we kick off Part 1 of our two-part post-Masters MEGA Q&A. We start with some fun: where players actually use the bathroom at Augusta, and the ongoing (and slightly heated) debate about the famous pimento cheese sandwich.

From there, we dig into the heart of the episode — the mental game. We answer listener questions on why bad shots stick in our memory, whether it’s useful to recall great shots after a round, and how to use visualization in a way that actually helps you handle nerves and adversity on the course.

We also talk about how to process bad rounds without spiraling, why “faking confidence” through body language doesn’t work, where to put your focus over the ball, and when (or if) weekly golf lessons are actually worth it. Part 2 coming next week!
